Ludicrous Rumours P2

Rumours we are after the Seville Gk Rico. €12m being mooted around the twitterpshere.
Is this the one with the €26.5m release clause?

No chance we should we be signing another keeper if we still have Ming, Karius and Ward on our books.
 
Sergio Rico is a very good goalkeeper. Would certainly improve us. But doubt its true given our goalkeeping situation.
 
Aubamayang off to China acc. to SPORTbild.

A £400k per week salary was apparently the offer he couldn't refuse..

I believe so. Can't see it without shipping out Ming or Karius which we won't do. Ward will be in loan again, not sure it'll be with Huddersfield though as they have signed a German keeper on loan.
 
Hahaha. Once in the States I was out walking with a friend of mine when we met a Korean colleague of hers from the local university taking his little dog for a walk. After chatting for a few minutes we went our separate ways and, as he turned a corner and disappeared, I asked her if that was his lunch, for which I got scolded. :vamp:

Two nuns are permitted outside of the convent for the first time ever. They decide to try a hotdog, which they've never seen before. The first nun opens her hotdog to look at the contents and gasps, then with horror on her face she turns to the other nun and says .. which part did you get ?

Ante Coric has been in the news today in Croatia; apparently he was pissed off at the coach for lack of playing time towards to end of last season and acted up in some unspecified way, but as the headline says "I thought a lot, but apologized to coach and decided to stay at Dinamo!"
"Everything is now behind us. A lot were talking openly talked about everything. I'm still a player, and he is the coach of Dinamo and it should be respected. I told him, we talked about everything that happened. I believe that this is all now a thing of the past, I am sure that in the future everything will be great. I am satisfied with attitude towards me [...]
"Yes, at one point, I really thought that my days are numbered in Dinamo. And it was all over and that leaving Dinamo. But then I realized the whole situation, I said to myself that I have to go slowly. And now we are nowhere in a hurry. Here, in the finish of last season I did not play in Dinamo, so I do not know what to do then had status on arrival in another club. I thought a lot about everything, I decided that my future is still at Dinamo. "
"I took the number 10 in the new season, that's what I dreamed of as a boy. Play for his Dinamo, wear number 10 on his back. Uh, what I just watched the players that had 'ten' in Dinamo, it is with great honor that I will now be one of them. Who was my favorite 'ten'? Luka Modric, one of my idols and a marvelous player. Now I want it all back in the field, not too much talk in the media. I want everyone to prove that I deserve to wear that number."

Doubt we'll ever see him at Liverpool – Klopp isn't a type to coddle players with inflated opinions of their current ability. Grujic seems a lot more malleable and humble.

Hope so. I was (and still am, until this is confirmed) worried that he's going to come to United [and start banging in goals for fun, showing off his ridiculous hairdo and generally injecting speed and energy into this otherwise dull team]

Bale is what, 28 this year. I'd hope the move happens as late as possible. He's quite reliant on his pace and power which should start declining in a year or two.
 
The Chinese club rumoured to be after Aubumeyang is Tianjin Quanjian – same ones who almost got Diego Costa in January with the same salary offer. So the new "100% tax" didn't deter them? Or is the whole thing just a bunch of smoke and mirrors?

Diego Costa situation is also interesting. Somehow he completely fell out with Conte and now he's apparently insisting on going back to Atletico Madrid (who probably won't match the price Chelsea are asking), which is holding up their Lukaku business. All of this is not too good for Chelsea – first of all I think as a player Costa fits Conte's style better than Lukaku, they are surely going to lose money on the swap but most importantly, this kind of nasty falling out with a star player weakens Conte's position in dealing with Abramovich. He will be on a shorter leash next season and that's not going to sit well with him; if the results are less then stellar, I can see him leaving after next season.

I reckon Real would sell so it's up to Utd.

Bale has turned the move down though, according to the Spanish media. At least in the past. I guess the only way it will happen is if Zidane tells him he can leave and wont feature much.

Don't Athletico have a transfer ban? That's gonna hold the shit right out of the deal you'd think.

I think it's a ban on registering any new player until January or something

I recall Costa saying he could agree to join and be 'signed' by AM but couldn't officially join until the ban ended, which meant he would have to go on loan somewhere for the first half of the season if he left Chelsea

All sounds very complicated anyway
 
According to Goal.com, Sakho and Palace have agreed personal terms of the contract and will look to agree a deal with us now regarding a fee. Still holding out for 30 mill £, but we'll probably settle for a bit less I reckon with some add ons included.

25 mill + 5 mill in add ons would still be a great fee for a defender that hasnt had a future at the club for a year.
